You never know. I just made a quilt for my husband's cousin, an older single man. I want him to use it so I made sure the colors where darker so dirt and wear would not show up to bad if used well. He loved it! No one had ever taken the time to make him anything. He is always making something and shares with all. We have a mobile he made with metal. I am so glad I took the time and gave him a quilt. (Right now we are vacationing with the family and he is enjoying his quilt, nightly!)
